Dadandlad Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Hi there, Hope I have picked the right place to post! We just wanted to share our Lego Land Rover that we have submitted to Lego Ideas website. If we can get 10,000 supporters then Lego will consider it as a product. We thought it is a great tribute to Land Rover and the series model. We went to The Great British Land Rover Show in Donington and feedback was great! Land Rover Monthly magazine have recently featured an article on our project. So have a look and if you like it please use the link and register on Lego Ideas and then press support, it only takes 5 minutes! Feedback is welcome ? https://ideas.lego.com/projects/116805 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneandtwo Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Well you've successfully replicated the hardtop to body fit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 What you've built there is amazing! With the addition of a few 'special' bricks from Lego - it could be perfect. Gets my vote! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadandlad Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 Thanks for your comment. Look out for our updates as working on some alternatives. Just trying to get our project out to the public so we can get those 10,000 supporters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadandlad Posted December 5, 2015 Author Share Posted December 5, 2015 Thank you Si, we really appreciate your support. We have loved making it (most of the time! ) and just think it would be fantastic for my 10 year old son to see something on the shelf in the Lego Shop that he could think "I made that". We can but dream! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snailracer Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Thats actually one of the best ones Ive seen. No one seems able to get the headlights correct. Good job. As simonr said with a few specialist bricks it could be excellent; give the wingtops a curved corner, get the hard top fitting nicely and possibly adjust the windscreen a bit. I also love that its a separate chassis. Have you got instructions made up for all of us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate your comments. Will try and do instructions and brick list once design is finalised but main priority is getting it publicised to get those supporters!

Cynic-al Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Some nice details like the centre of the wheels, the fuel filler, the PTO hole etc and doesn't look too complicated for people to buy and build. I like the lack of special bricks, I don't like how lego have gone down this route and the fact that it is instantly recognisable as both a land rover and lego is great. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
